The final film
in my Halloween month movie review thing I’m doing. It is a
doozy!

Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street
Legacy- Well this
documentary clocks in at four hours. Yeah four frakking hours! Yet it never seems to drag. This is a
complete look at the Nightmare on Elm Street series and everything surrounding
it. Well it doesn’t cover that Michael Bay produced abysmal piece of shit
remake. That is never mentioned, and for good reason!

Heather Langenkamp, or Nancy
Thompson from Elm Street 1 and 3, narrates us through this four hour journey. It
starts with Wes Craven’s original concept, the rise of New Line Cinema, all
seven Elm Street films, Freddy vs. Jason, all the Krueger-mania and the eventual
fall of New Line Cinema.

We start with a space battle and some alien canister falling to
Earth in 1959. This alien canister opens and a fast moving slug jumps into some
goon’s mouth who is out on a date. This turns him into a creepy zombie! Jump
ahead to modern day (1986-ish) and two guys ( Chris and J.C.) in college
pulling a fraternity prank in hopes of pledging. Just grab a corpse from the
morgue (which every college has). Strangely enough the infected goon from 1959
is frozen in a super science lab. The same science lab that these two guys go
into hoping to nab a corpse. Of course the corpse is thawed and the alien slug
inside wakes up and escapes. Now we have slugs jumping in mouths all over the
place. Zombies being created from an entire fraternity on formal night and
sorority house as a target for these zombie slug boyfriends. It is up to Chris
,sorority girl Cynthia and police detective Ray Cameron to stop the zombie slug
invasion on campus.

The Texas Chaisaw Massacre II- This is a coming of age love story about a young brute named Bubba, or Leatherface, and his first awkward attempt at love.

Props to having a poster that mimics the Breakfast Club!

Ever
since I saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre it has held a special and creepy place
in my heart. That movie is just so creepy, scary, wyrd
and great on so many levels. I never went near the sequels (but I had the
misfortune of seeing a reboot and prequel). Now I have mustered the stupid
courage to sit through the first sequel to the original film.

This
movie is garbage! Hot and wet garbage! What the frak
did I just watch?

Dennis
Hopper (yeah Dennis Hopper is in this) is aformer
sheriff on the look-out for the people that killed his niece and nephew. These
were two of the kids in the first film. He recruits a DJ called Stretch to play
a tape of a recent drive by chainsawing incident. This
is to lure out the killers. Of course this does and her comes Leatherface and his buddy …..Chop Top (his name in the
credits and one of the most annoying characters ever on screen) to capture,
torture and kill this girl. Instead Leatherface falls
in love with her? She is nabbed and taken to an underground tunnel system below
some kind of closed battlefield amusement park place. Now she has to survive
this crazy cannibal family, hope Dennis Hopper can rescue her, not become food,
not get sexually assaulted by a chainsaw, survive the endless chainsaw gyrating
dance that Leatherface does or worse not become the
girl who helps Leatherface lose his virginity.

Alright! I’m diving back into the 80’s for some horror schlock and awe!

Waxwork- All of a sudden a wax museum opens in this any town America. The proprietor invites some high school ( I think they are supposed to be in high school but look 25-30) kids for a midnight showing. Only six people may come, no more and no less is the only request for the showing.

Billy (from Gremlins) and his buddies show up and are shown around the museum that is full of scenes of torture, killing, famous killers both real and fictional. A little too real. When the group walk, fall or get pushed into the displays the scenes come alive. They are sucked into the story being portrayed. These all have a tragic and violent ending, which is what the owner of the museum needs. See if all the displays get filled with real victims, then the wax monsters can become real and will walk the Earth. It is all part of a deal with Old Scratch and some wonky items that house evil power and of course are all part of the displays. It is up to Billy and his "not girlfriend" to survive and save the day!

The
Tall Man- First off
this has nothing to do with Angus Scrimm, which would
have made this a much better film.

Alright here we
go. The Tall Man is a legend about a gut that steals kids. The town of Cold Rock
has a child abduction problem. Well that is along with the town being a desolate
dump where everyone is unemployed and poor. I guess a mine shut down or
something. Anyway, the town nurse Julia lives with her baby sitter/maid and her
son. Her husband is dead and was the town doctor. One night her son is nabbed by
the Tall Man and Julia gives chase. After a rousing bit of highway chicanery the
Tall Man gets away. She is saved by an F.B.I. agent and taken back to town.
While recovering at the diner she discovers that….there is an altar to her son
and other missing kids. Weird. She is the bolts to find the Tall Man and her
son. After some shenanigans she finds her son and the Tall Man, who is not a man
but…….wait…..a lady! A lady that is the mother of Julia’s son! Yeah I’m spoiling
this film for anyone reading this, but it is for a good reason. See Julia is not
the mother of her son. Julia, the maid/sitter and her not dead husband have been
stealing the kids from town. Her husband faked his death to become the Tall Man.
Julia scouts poor, troubled and down on their luck kids. Her husband then
abducts them and gives them to well off and deserving families who want
children. Julia of course gets caught and takes the fall for her husband.
Meanwhile, he can go around and snatch kids to give away to other people. All
this for the greater good? What the hell is happening here?

Now we throw in: a quasi-obsessed strip club owner, a living doll non-plastic doll, her Betty Boop voiced friend, a bouncer with a heart of gold, creepy bitey twins, a rapey sex party, a non-killing serial surgeon and some revenge. Wait what?

“Hey baby
you’re the one. Let’s go to a mansion in the middle of nowhere and have a
wedding anniversary dinner party with my family. Nothing could possible derail
this night.”

Well that is
until a trio of silent and animal masked goons show up to crossbow, axe and
machete the family to death. Welcome to “You’re Next.”

The Davidsons
are getting together for family time and then become hapless victims in a kill
crazed bloody orgy. Well that might be a little bit too much. Guys
wearing bleached out masks of a kitty, lamb and wolf just begin killing off the
Davidson family. There is all manner of crossbow death, axe to heads, neck
slashing, screw driver poking and near beheading. It is a pretty bloody affair.

Hellraiser: Deader-
Amy Klein is a journalist (with a comical smoking habit) and has been sent to
Bucharest
after watching video tape about a resurrection cult called the Deaders. The leader of this cult (whose name is Winter) has members kill themselves and then he brings them
back to life.

Once in
Bucharest (which is fun to say) Amy tracks down the video owner/mailer and finds
her…of course dead and holding that familiar gold puzzle box we know and love!
She makes sure to open the box, because who wouldn’t?!This starts the waking
dream bit that is ever so popular. Is this all real or not? You know that old
song and dance.

Amy
eventually find the Deaders
and Winter. Who is an ancient relative of the original puzzle box maker. This means he has the ability to bring people back to
life? Sure. Whatever. This Deader cult is also annoying
the cenobites as the people dying are not going to hell for his pleasure.
Pinhead wants Amy to fix the problem so he can go being able to play with the
Deaders who have cheated death. Whatever will Amy
Klein do?

Hellraiser: Hellworld- I had no idea
Pinhead and the crew had turned to multiplayer online games. Who knew? This is
the basis for more wacky cenobite adventures in Hellraiser: Hellworld.

Alright the
short and skinny of this film is…..circle of six friends playing Hellraiser-ish video game. One friend way too addicted and
kills himself. Now the main four riends mourn and one
friend blames then. Who cares and three of the remaining five keep playing the
game. Jump ahead two years and the same friends are still playing, minus blonde
girl and finger of shame guy who blames them for death of buddy. Wait what is
this? Everyone gets invited to video game party at creepy old house/looney bin! Cue crazy drunk dance and sexy party at looney bin house. Hey everyone Lance Henricksen is the host of the party and is super creepy
(like he always is). Even the finger of shame guy is there for a meet-cute with
some rando piece of tail. While at this party the host
(creepy Lance) shows the group around. Strange he ignored everyone else. Creepy
house is creepy. Now start the seeing stuff, creepy visions, lost people, doom,
scary noises, blood, cenobites and eventual death of three of the five friends.
Yet nobody at the party seems to notice. Hmmm….that is strange. Cut to chase now
and the party host is the dad of the suicide friend. He has drugged the kiddos
and actually buried them alive and has been messing with them. See there were no
cenobites and this is all a father’s revenge scheme. Eventually two of the five
are saved by cops who received an anonymous tip from the ghost of
suicide guy.

Meanwhile the host/dad is safe and sound going through his son’s
belongings. Wait…he finds that fancy fun box we all know and love. He of course
solves it and here comes Pinhead and crew to punish him.

Hellraiser: Hellseeker- Trevor is a shady
businessman (is everyone in the Hellraiser universe
shady?) who survives a car accident that apparently kills his wife Kirsty. Hmmm…. she looks mighty familiar. Trevor drives the
car into a bridge (and doesn’t care. “I crashed my car into a bridge, I
watched, I let it burn.” That song is my jam!) and it plunges into the river
below along with his wife. Trevor survives, but where is the body of his
wife?

Jump ahead a month
and Trevor has amnesia and is in the hospital. Trevor now is the prime suspect
in a murder case, is juggling three women (besides his wife) cannot tell fantasy
from reality and there is this familiar puzzle box in his possession. That
means…yup he is going to fiddle with and open the box. Now we get Pinhead
showing Trevor that his wife is alive and that he is a philanderer, liar and
general scumbag. So….Trevor tries to save his own skin by trading Kirsty’s soul for his. This is what lead to the car crash in
the beginning.

Hellraiser: Inferno-
A series of grisly and ritualistic murders are occurring
and Joseph Thorne (a
pretty shady police detective) is on the case. A puzzle box is found and of
course officer Joseph solves it. I guess that by opening this box it will help
him solve the case? This leads him down a path to the killer who is known as
“The Engineer.” This “Engineer” in turn kidnaps a kid, begins leaving kid
fingers behind at crime scenes, kills off Joseph’s friends and taunts him at
every turn. This drives Joe a bit nutty. He starts seeing demons, is subjected
to brutal physical and psychological torments.

A few hours out from the premiere of this season of The Walking Dead. For the first time in the run of this show I am not super excited about it. Sure I'll watch and enjoy the squishy zombies, but I am just not excited about anything else.

Could this be the end of me caring about Rick and his buddies? Have all the changes between the comic and the show finally gotten to me?

Here is hoping what drew me into the show season one comes back because I love me some zombie stuff. I just am very meh! with this zombie stuff right now.

Lords of Salem- Is a spooky tale
about witch revenge. Well I think that is what I took away from this.

The film tells a story about a coven that is caught and
torture killed by a witch hunter and his crew. Then jump ahead to modern times
and Heidi, a radio DJ, is sent
a box containing a record -- a "gift from the Lords." What sounds
like a really awful band is this chanting and sound played backwards I guess.
Anyway, this record sound/noise triggers trippy dreams and violent flashbacks.
These are either about the violent past of the town or have Heidi
seeing all sorts of nonsense. Add in a trio of ladies in her apartment who have
little tea time gatherings and must be up to no good. Heidi seems to be being
groomed for something greater as the movie goes along. There is a guy who
studies the whole Salem witch trials and witch hunters who seems to be
unraveling the nonsense around the Lords and their album of noise. Eventually
the plan of “The Lords” and the trio of tea time
women comes to fruition, I guess. Heidi transcends into some kind of Christ-like
uber witch and a ton of the ladies in town go kill
crazy and off others themselves or both.

A mocumentary about
a small town on…a bay! A nearby chicken farm is spilling waste and chems into the water. This leads to small parasite aquatic
isopods (- pic-) becoming huge and aggressive. Throw in a desalinization plant
as well. Now townsfolk are swimming and drinking the larvae of these guys. One
fine day the little bugs start rapid growing inside and eating through the
townsfolk. Seriously they all start to grow and eat people in one damn day!? One
summer afternoon all this happens? Really? Really?

All this is shot via fraking found
footage and handy shaky cam. Which is poison and needs to stop! Curse you found
footage and shaky cameras! A further curse upon The Blair Witch Project for
setting this precedent!

This year I have decided to cram as many horror movies as
possible into my tiny bit of free time. Thanks to Netflixia, Goddess of Temporal Production
Devouring, I will have a descent amount of streaming horror goodness (or
probably badness) to view.

Anything I watch I must finish. I will give myself one caveat, if it looks like a SyFy original then I will
bail on it and quick! I will try and watch movies I have heard absolutely
nothing about or those that I have a teeny tiny knowledge. Now if there is a
film I have deemed “classic” or have not seen in forever, then I will sure as
hell watch that instead. I might be crazy, but I’m not stupid! I am hoping that
there are a few noteworthy films and not all just low budget drek.

I am hoping to get through a bunch of movies and get quick
little reviews of them out there.

This year Halloween month is about the unknown (unknown to me
and mine) horror, thriller, creepy or ghostly films.
